    I’ve seen this many times. I think it’s one of those cutesy intentional misspellings which most-likely comes from someone not being able to spell the word correctly in the first place.

    It’s fonetik.

    I think I would buy flowers from this person right after I’d have my floor done by a guy who installs “parkay tiles.”

    That’s going to be my catchphrase now.

    “Bokay!”

    That’s a common spelling in floral shops. And one that should be mocked every single time, because damn.

    I’d like to post a big FAIL on top of this entry.

    This is FRENCH fail. Yes, it’s an English word now, but seriously, folks. Failure to spell a French word correctly gets you on the English fail blog?

    Fail. :P

      Uh, yes, it does. As you mentioned, it’s an English word now. As are terms such as rouge, chic, souvenir, cuisine, critique, petite, faux. Yes, they’re derived from French, but have been adopted into English and are now a formal part of the English language. So no passes on knowing how to spell them. Seriously.

      That’s the worst excuse for a misspelling that I’ve ever heard. Would you be okay with people misspelling “kindergarten” or “frankfurter” just because they originally came from German? What about “pasta” or “broccoli” or “pizza”, which were from Italian?

    I think the spelling is perfectly oquet.

      HAHAHAHAH

    The woman who did the flowers for my wedding spelled it like that! I thought it looked so stupid but I didn’t try to correct her.
